Cuisine: British
Serves: 12 brownies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup gluten-free flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the sides are covered for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the gluten-free flour and cocoa powder to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth consistency.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Roughly chop half of the mini chocolate eggs and fold them into the brownie batter, reserving the remaining whole eggs for topping.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Gently press the remaining whole mini chocolate eggs on top of the batter, distributing them evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before lifting out using the parchment paper.
- Allow brownies to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into 12 equal squares.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
Tips
- • For the most luxurious texture, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing • Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough brownies • Use high-quality gluten-free flour and cocoa powder for the best flavor • For extra indulgence, slightly warm the brownies before serving • If you want a more intense chocolate flavor, add a pinch of espresso powder to the dry ingredients • Make sure to line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, neat squares • Store in an airtight container to maintain moisture and freshness
